Lovett'S Guide to Fruit Culture

Very few indeed are aware of the
advances being made in Horticulture
and nursery business who have not
seen Lovett's Guide to Fruit Culture
for 1887. Not only have advances
been accomplished in the fruits them
selves; for the Improvements in dis
tributing the trees and plants that pro-
duce them to all parts of the country
have been equally great. BY these
methods a farmer or fruit grower can
sit at his fireside, and in addition to
having nursery stock delivered at his
home, at half the cost of the old way,
get Just what he wants and orders, alb
solutely true to name and in perfect
condition for growing at the proper
season for planting, Lovett's Guide
tells the whole story about the fruits,
giving their defects as we'll as merits)
how to plant, cut, prune, etc. The
Guide is book of 20 pages, elegantly
printed, sumptuously illustrated and
embelished with a beautiful chromo-
photographic cover and several artist
cally executed colored plates of fruits.
1t is mailed applicants for 10 cents or
without plates for cents. Pamphlets
and circulars mailed free. Address j.

The address of Miss varina-or as
she is better known, "Winnie"-Dayis
is Beauvoir, Miss. She is home again,
after prolonged visit to the North, in
which she endeared herself to many
persons. The inference of this
cultivated and beautiful young lady.
the daughter Of the ''head and 'front.'
OF the Confederacy, has been to in.
crease the feeling Of goodwill in those
States that remained loyal to the
Union, towards those which were in
arms against it.
Miss Davis was born when the war
was raging, twenty-four-or twenty five
years ago. She is daughter Of the
present, the great Con federate's second
wife, who has been Mrs. Jefferson
Davis forty years, and is the mother of
all his children. Six have been born
to the couple, four sons and two
daughters, of whom all are dead ex-
cepting daughter, W no is married, and
the subject of this ske tch. Miss Davis
has been thoroughly educated. Dur
ing five years she was at school in Ger
many, where she acquired the French
and German languages. She possesses
a comprehensive store of knowledge on
various subjects, is unusually interest
ing in conversation and capable with
her pen. She has spent large part of
her life abroad, principally in England,
where she has often been a guest of
the aristocracy. During her recent
visit to the North, she expressed her
astonishment at the wealth, prosperity
and activity of the people. New York,
especially excited her admiration.
Her first appearance in public was
a. the lay. of the corner stone of tho
Conf5derato Monument at Montgom-
cry, Ala. After the ceremony, while
she was c., route from Montgomery to
Atlanta, General Gordon presented her
to crowd at Newman, Ga, as The
Daughter of the Confederacy," q title
by which she is known in the South.
Her life at her fathers house, Beau
voir, Miss, is one Of rural Simplicity

FORMIDABLE IRON CLADS.
Classification of War Ships In the British
Navy-A Noticeable Fact.

Classi flcation of War Ships In the British
Navy-A Noticeable Fact.
In addition to formidable list of CUR
boats unarmored cruisers, torpedo cruisers,
and torpedo boats, the English admiralty
has in hand two classes Of iron cads that
may fairly rank as first rate. The first OF
these-which might be called the "Ad.
miral'' class, each ship being named after
some famous British admiral-consists OF
what are termed CHARLOTTE ships" from
the fashion in which their guns are mounted.
These are Tho Arson, Benbow, Camper
down, Collingwood, Howe and Rodney.
The Imperieuse and Warspite are also ships
of tho same type, but somewhat smaller
than the "Admiral' class, though in pro-
portionate horse power they are even moro
formidable. The six "Admiral" ships have
a tonnage ranging from 8, 100 in the Col
lingwood to 10000 in the Arson, Benbow,
and Camperdown; and horse power rang
1g from 1900 in the three last named ves-
sells to 1l,160 in the Rodney. Each Of
these ships will be mounted with either ten
or twelve guns and in every case at least
two of these guns will be of the 110-ton pat
tern. The Benbow recently made her trial
trip, and steamed 70 knots in four hours
an average of 1715 knots an hour a speed
exceeded by very few war ships anoat, even
counting cruisers specially built for speed.
And swift as the Benbow has shown herself
to be, the Collingwood, Howe, Rodney,
Warspite, and Imperieuse will be far
swifter.
The second class of first ratio iron clads
consists of turret ships. Hitherto English
turret ships have been rather slow. The In
,.ca1xy 10 fO,
hour and the Devastation is still slower.
But by vastly increasing the proportion of
horse power as compared with tonnage the
admiralty has got over this difficulty While
the Devastation, with tonnage of $3.50,
has only $3.50 horse power, the Renown
and Sans Pareil, now being constructed,
have horse power of not less than IL, 900,
against a tonnage of 10400. These two
ships are to be mounted with fifteen guns
each, those in the turrets being, of course,
of the largest type. There is also another
turTet ship, smaller than these, but surely
a formidable vessel, the Edinburgh, $3.50
tons, 1890 horse power, nine guns.
Nothing is so noticeable in recent Eng
glish war ships as the great proportionate
increase of horse power to tonnage, show
ing the Importance attached to speed. For
the broadside ships Agincourt and Minotaur
the proportion of horse power to tonnage
was as six to ten; for the Renown and Sans
Pareil the proportion is, roughly, as twelve
to ten. But this increase of horse power
over tonnage is most conspicuous Of all in
the torpedo ram Polyphemus which, with a
tonnage of 2,040, has horse power of $500.
These, then, are what they call, first rate
iron clads in Europe. Ships like these cost
immense sums of money; but there are not
a few men in England who would gladly
pay five shillings in the pound income tax, If
by SO doing thsy could secure to their fleet
pnquestionable7 supremacy. -New Orleans

PHILADELPHIA. Pa, Nov. 90 The decis-
ion of Judge Stanley Woodward. of the Lu-
zarne county courty court, in the eviction
C ses Of the Stout Coal company, of Milne
Vile, against two OF their miner tenants
Edward Fallon and James 0Donnell, has a
most important bearing upon the situation in
the Lehigh region, where the great strike is
now in progress. This decision. which was
filed Saturday in Wilkesbarre, sustains tho
miners and renders permanent the temporary
injunction granted on the 18th inst, restrain
ing the company from dispossessing the strk.
ing tenants, thus allowing the men to hold
possession Of their houses during the contin-
ance of the strike. These two cases, although
in themselves of no great Importance, have
established precedent that is likely to be
followed throughout the entire region in
which the strike exists. The companies
claim that the men will not work. AMI they
want the houses for men that will
